Anti-fur Leona

The vegetarian star rejects a £1m offer in protest against Harrods' use of fur.

In this grab-what-you-can free-for-all age of self-appointed rockers advertising anything from turd-grinders to industrial polluters in search of an extra couple of quid, it's absolutely unheard of for a popstar to turn down a £1m offer.

But that's exactly what Leona Lewis did, as she rejected a lucrative offer from Harrods to show what she thinks of their use of fur. Leona's stance also goes to show that not all X Factor winners are shallow muppet-heads. She already joined the PETA campaign "I'd rather go naked than wear fur".

Now, as she shuns £1m, she proudly declares: “I’m totally against animal cruelty. I don’t have clothes, shoes or bags made from any animal products". Harrods can stick'em all up their bum.
